Heritage panel
Heritage is Alan La Roche’s
forte.
And the Howick historian
could soon be advising
Auckland councillors and
mayor Len Brown on the
topic.
Mr La Roche officially
received the Howick Local
Board’s nomination for a spot
on the new heritage panel at
this month’s meeting.
The panel is one of a number
of measures designed to
strengthen the council’s
approach to heritage.
The panel will provide
independent advice on
various historic heritage
matters.
More measles spotted
Taking action: Wakaaranga School principal Brent Jenkin says
unimmunised pupils exposed to measles must stay away from
school.

LIMIT THE SPREAD
By PIP BOURKE
PARENTS who send their
children to school unimmun-
ised amidst a measles epi-
demic are asking for trouble,
a principal says.
As Auckland’s measles
crisis worsens, Wakaaranga
School moved last week to
send home 149 of its pupils
who didn’t have evidence to
show they had been
immunised.
The move came after the
school was notified that one
of its students had the dis-
ease. The child was unim-
munised and had been
unaware they had measles
while at school.
Principal Brent Jenkin
says while he is not entering
the debate on whether or not
to immunise, it is a parent’s
responsibility to ensure other
children are not at risk.
‘‘If you choose not to immu-
nise then you don’t have the
right to risk infecting other
people.’’
There are parents out there
who probably should feel
angry that their children are
being unnecessarily exposed
to measles, he says.
Mr Jenkin is disappointed
the Farm Cove primary
school still had 45 children in
quarantine out of a roll of 700
at the end of last week.
‘‘Who knows what happens
from here?
‘‘Some of those kids who
aren’t immunised without
doubt are going to get
measles.’’
It is a Department of
Health requirement to quar-
antine unimmunised children
who have been exposed to the
disease.
The Auckland region is
now in its second and largest
measles outbreak for 2011. It
began in mid-May and the
number of people infected
continues to rise.
There have been 72 con-
firmed cases of measles in the
Auckland region as of
Monday.
Five cases have required
hospitalisation.
Measles is a serious and
highly infectious disease that
can make people very sick.
One third of cases experience
serious complications and in
rare cases, death.
‘‘Fortunately for us, it is
now the school holidays,’’ Mr
Jenkin says.
◆ The Auckland Regional
Public Health Service is
working to limit the spread
of measles as much as
possible.
◆ To stop the transmission
of the disease it is
important that anyone at
risk of developing measles
does not have any contact
with vulnerable and
susceptible people like
pregnant women, children
too young to be immunised
and people with immune
diseases.
◆ To limit the spread of
measles, the health
service can quarantine
susceptible people from
school, work and other
activities.
◆ People who are in
quarantine should remain
at home and away from
school, work, group and
social activities, sports and
recreation events and
public places such as
cinemas and shopping
malls for 14 days since
their last contact with an
infectious case of
measles.
◆ The health service is
urging people to be vigilant
if they suspect they could
have measles or have been
exposed to someone who
could have measles.
◆ Look out for the signs
and symptoms. These
include a runny nose,
cough, sore eyes and fever
or a raised red rash that
starts on the face and
moves to cover the rest of
the body.
◆ If you think you or
someone in your care has
measles contact Healthline
on 0800-611-116 or your
doctor.
Call ahead before visiting a
doctor so the risk of
infection can be minimised.
